Looks like "Swizzle Flame" - see Scotland's Glass (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=678&category_id=73&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=6).

Perfect. Looks like a match to me. Think it must be a 'second' though, says 'Unselected' on the paper label to base.

Thanks very much for the link. Very useful to know.

Correct - at one stage Caithness abandoned proper marking of seconds and just attached labels - which easily "fall off" - though not with your weight.
